Two kinds of materials, sprayed-on crocidolite and sprayed-on amosite, containing crocidolite and amosite respectively, were treated with aqueous acetic acid solution, the pH of which was adjusted with an ammonium acetate buffer at 5, in order to remove soluble components of cement. The liquids were filtrated with a membrane filter, and the residue collected as crocidolite samples and amosite samples, respectively. The Crocidolite and amosite thus obtained were heated up to 600-1300? C for 1h. Then, power X-ray diffraction XRD experiment, scanning electron microscopic SEM observation, and thermal analysis TGDTA were carried out for these burned specimens in order to observe the change of the burned materials and melting behaviors together with their thermal properties. In addition, CaCO 3 and CaCl 2 were mixed with the respective sprayed-on asbestos and sprayed-on crocidolite, and a TGDTA measurement was conducted on these mixtures. Based on the SEM observation and XRD experiment on the specimens used in the TGDTA measurements, we tried to decompose the crocidolite and amosite, applying the method of low-temperature decomposition, the applicability of which was previously confirmed in the study on the case of chrysolite. The temperature of the TGDTA measurement could be raised up to 1000? C, and it became evident that in the cases of specimens where CaCl 2 was added, all the asbestos fibers had decomposed, but not in any other specimen. The crocidolite specimen became rounded in shape when it was heated up to 1000? C, and it looked as if it was densified due to burning. CaCO 3 and CaCl 2 were added to this burned crocidolite, and decomposition of the material after burning was examined. In a DTA thermogram, an endothermic peak was recognized, which corresponds to the formation of a melt of CaCO 3 -CaO-CaCl 2 as summarized in the previous report. Thus it is experimentally verified that burned crocidolite decomposes at high temperatures.
F# ñąñú ɂĀLow-temperature decomposition of sprayed-on asbestos was studied in the presence of flon-decomposition products or CaCl 2 -CaCO 3 mixtures. In a reaction system to which flon-decomposition products were added, chrysotile and its decomposition product, forsterite, maintaining the needle form underwent destruction by heating at 800? C for 2 h. The optimum mixing ratio of the sprayed-on asbestos to the flon-decomposition product was obtained when the content of the latter was very slightly larger than that for the asbestosflon-decomposition product ratio 21 by weight. When the sprayed-on asbestos mixed with the CaCl 2 was heated at 700? C, forsterite as well as chrysotile in the material were completely decomposed.
